The link to documentation you mentioned is in the nav bar on the Eclipse Project pages - http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/index.html Documentation is provided by each of the projects individually, linked from their own websites, and is managed by the project committers. So, the reason, (you can judge if its a good one), is that the documentation is distributed and that list relates to just one of the projects. (In reply to comment #1) That being said, we can move your comment to the Phoenix project as a suggestion to make documentation links more obvious from the rest of the site ? Susan *** Bug 121285 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I think we do need a centralized documentation section on our website - Just like Downloads is a download central, Mailing Lists is a grouping of all the lists, Projects is a grouping of all the projects, Newsgroups is a portal to all the newsgroups... This could be tied to the Project Status Infrastructure (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/project-status-infrastructure.php), where every project defines the link to their respective docs. We simply create a landing page to aggregate all those links. D. The documentation landing page has been started. http://www.eclipse.org/documentation/ IMHO the current work on the Pillars will satisfy this requirement more than an actual landing page. See http://phoenix.eclipse.org/pillars/enterprise.php for a sample, and bug 155235 for the actual enhancement request. As discussed in our team meeting, we won't be adding Documentation to the top navigation. Each project is responsible for its own documentation resources, and we link to documentation from the home page. A new documentation landing page has been created, though. Thanks for the feedback.
